no matter what technique i use my phone still wakes on new sms. ive tried editing the registry, used diamond_tf3d_config, used advanced configuration tool, diamond tweaks... none helped. has anyone else, using a sprint touchpro, been able to solve this problem? i've also reset my phone to stock just in case it was a program i installed that was causing it....HELP! thanks
all the tweaks to disable it were designed for the gsm raphael and do not work on the cdma versions. you should check out s2u2 or touchlockpro
o ok thanks, was getting tired of trying everything to no avail....... thanks man saves me some headaches... by the way slide2unlock2 still wakes up, you just get the slide2unlock2 screen... still annoying to hear screen taps in your pocket when you get text messages, plus it wastes battery life.....
you can set s2u2u to turn back off in 5 seconds. that will leave you with less chance of clicks, or touchlockpro csn be used as it said. it keeps both the screen and buttons disabled so no clicks are possible.

I find that my Sprint titan is, at times, very unresponsive. Usually it will happen after having not used it for a few hours. After I wake the phone up, I'll notice that most tasks require multiple inputs before sensing the touch. (ie: if I wanna open the start menu I might have to touch it 3-6 times before the phone opens the start menu) It is not just the touch screen; the buttons are just as unresponsive when the issue is present. After a about a minute or two of use while I'm having this issue the phone will become more and more unresponsive, finally I might have to press an item 10-20 times before the phone opens it. At that point I need to reset the phone in order to restore normal functionality.
This used to happen to me using DCD 3.01 and I hoped it would not happen on the newer 3.04 but same issue remains.
Something that is unique to my situation is that I'm in the US navy and currently deployed, thus my titan will never get a signal. Being that I can't find anyone else with this problem it leads me to think that it might be related to never having a cell signal as most people who change their ROM probably are on the network.
Just to let you know, I have had this problem. I think I limited it down to IM+. With just the included applications running, this did not occur.
I've never used IM+
I'd suggest that both of you list ALL apps that you added to the ROM.... That way we can cross reference what you both have in common when the issue happens, and can eliminate OEM's one at a time....
I didn't add anything to the roms. Just donwloaded the rom and flashed it.
I installed Mortplayer and HTC home 2.0 + HTC home customizer 1.0. Those are the only two programs I have on my titan.
Then it could be HTC home. I found what specifically lags me about IM+ is the home screen plugin. Try disabling the HTC home screen plugin.
I'm having this same problem. It started after updating to the new Rev A/GPS Rom from Sprint. I've just recently noticed that when the device becomes unresponsive, the signal strength icon is showing data transfer. The device is acting like it is becoming bogged down while sending or receiving a large amount of data. The last time it became unresponsive, I hit the Com manager button, triggered airplane mode (thereby killing the data connection), and the device instantly became responsive again.
The only thing I have running in the background is Outlook which is checking my Gmail every 15 minutes.
I do have HTC home and Home Customizer on it though. Anyone seeing a pattern here??? I do not use IM.
I ran across Spybot Search & Destroy for WinMo standard and PPC last night. was thinking of installing it and see if it discovers any possible malware. I highly doubt it though since I never surf to unknown websites or open unknown mail.
I should also say that I did make some reg edits for better power management. But they were done with the previous Sprint Rom AND after the new Sprint Rom was installed. Never had a problem when running the previous Sprint Rom.
Anyone else noticing this happening when data seems to be transferring? Anyone try disabling the HTC home and Home Customizer?
HTC Home is a huge memory leak, the worst of any PPC application I've ever run
it dumps tons of useless info to the kernel log which may be the cause
I would suggest rltoday, there are htc home clone themes available
Thanks so much for the info DCD!! Checking out rltoday right now. Possibilities look endless.
I'm bumping this thread because I have the same problem all the time. The issue appeared on No2Chem's ROMs and DCD's roms. I have many programs installed, but it sounds like this occurs even with no programs installed. Did anyone figure out a fix for this?
It is quite annoying to find my phone randomly very unresponsive to any key press (touch screen or hard buttons).
By the way, could it be our radios? I'm using 3.42.30.
Interesting - I've been a user of DCD roms since pre-3.01 on my XV6800 and have never had any problems. After installing 3.3.4, however, I did experience these exact same symptoms. I tried removing applications, today plugins, etc., but the issue persisted. As a last resort, figuring it was just some incompatibility with my configuration and not the rom, I rolled back to 3.2.6 and all has been fine so far.
I am experiencing random lock ups and freezes. It happens especially when I receive texts and incoming calls after about 30 minutes of no use. WiFi does not work either. It is very annoying and frustrating as I lose the text or miss the call. I have to reset the phone to get it working again. Sometimes it takes several resets.
EDIT: Other random tidbit...after playing with the phone a bit more, I have found that the phone functions perfectly when plugged into the power outlet-WiFi, texting, incoming calls...Maybe it has something to do with the power settings when not plugged in?
Is anyone else experiencing this?
Does anyone have a guess at what might be the problem?
I am running:
SPL 2.47
2.42.50 radio
DCD Custom 3.2.6
I have never had this problem until about a week ago. I am wondering if it is a hardware issue as I have tried re-flashing several times. It will work well for a few hours then act up again. I am thinking about relocking my phone and taking it in for service, but that is a last resort.
Thanks in advance for any help.
same thing happened to me. It started ever since i switch out for a new battery though. I seriously think it's my battery that causes these random freezes.
hmmm...it does seem to be a battery issue as it works while plugged in. Is there any way to reset the battery somehow?
Freezes here too
I've had my phone freeze twice in the last two days. Yesterday at work, connected via activesync, when I disconnected the screen wouldn't come on. Then today I was connected to the wall charger, disconnected and the screen wouldn't come on again. Had to remove the battery both times to get the phone working again.
My experiences
When the 6800 came out I liked it so much that I hooked my entire family up with one and I have seen more problems than a lot of people. I just thought I would share some of the freezing problems I've seen and what I've dont to replace them. And if the device is not freezing when it is plugged into the wall is the screen off like in idle, or is it real dim and still up? And one great thing you can do to reduce daytime freezes is to leave the device off at night when you charge it (if you can stand to do that), or at least soft reset when you grab it to start the day.
1) The most common reason for lock ups that I've seen is memory drain. It is caused from programs you've installed that continually run in the background. The biggest killer is recieving calls when the phone has been sitting at idle too long or trying to run activesync or an internet browser.
Fix: You can try to go back and remove the programs that you've recently installed till you lack this problem, but the ultimate fix is to hard reset.
2) Some registry edits have poor efects on the way the phone performs and this is when it seems everything is good, you are keeping the memory clear with a task manager, yet it still freezes in the middle of doing something.
Fix: Every titan seems to act a little differently than others. The only time I hack the registry is when one of my family members phone is having an issue, or when I get bored and I want to mess around with my own's performance. The remedy for this is installing the stock carrier rom and then moving to a rom of your choice. Read the posts too. Make sure the radio is compatible with the rom. Trust me in this forum you can find anything.
3) Memory boosting software like memaid or oxios close apps are great, however, with some programs they interfeer with each other and cause problems.
Fix: Forget this memory programs. Find a rom with good memory management.
Animez: That is how mine started...now it does it at least 6 times a day.
Sweeny: Thank you for your detailed response. I do not think it is memory drain as I use x-button and maintain my task manager quite frequently. I have not made any registry edits except for the DCD kitchen (3.2.6), arcsoft, and carrier cab I have installed...
Question: Does the registry get wiped on a reflash or do I need to hard reset to wipe the registry? I don't really trust myself all that much fiddling with the registry unless I know what all the strings do.

A hard reset or rom flash will wipe your registry since it's included in the new rom and also stored in the hard reset rom. So if you screw it up, worse case you hard reset, or reflash with a new rom/same rom, doesn't matter.
You can also back up your phone prior to making any changes, and if you screw up, hard reset and then restore the backup.

I performed a search on here and find lots of posts about how to turn them on but nothing discussing the issue I'm having which is that they keep turning themselves back off. It's driving me insane!!!
I have a Touch Pro with Sprint. I go into settings and enable all notifications to display on the screen for new reminders, email, sms, etc. I've done both soft reset and no soft reset after enabling them and it doesn't seem to matter. After a few days the notifications checkmarks have seemed to uncheck themselves and the pop up notifications stop working. Then I have to go in a re-enable them all. I've gone through this about 10 times in the last two weeks and it's wearing on my last nerve.
Does anyone know what is causing this and more importantly know how to fix it once and for all? Is there something in the registry that keeps making it default back to no popup notifications that I need to change?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me. Other than this issue I love the phone!
I have noticed 2 things with the new Sprint TP:
1. They work better after a hard reset. More stable and faster.
2. There are some programs I tried out that were written for the diamond (i.e. advance config). They have caused some unwanted side effects, like not keeping settings I had intended (i.e. hardware button tap sounds always turned themselves off etc.).
If you have any of those programs on your TP, one of those might be the culprit.
Either way, I would suggest a hard reset and then (if applicable) installing each program and seeing if it's messing things up.
As follow up, it appears that Advanced Config is the culprit. I uninstalled it, reset all of my notifications to display on screen and finally did a soft reset. Popup notifications are still working strong for almost a week now!
Thanks!
Ok i have a alltel touch pro, stock rom the only thing i have changed was the theme. i have diamond tweak and tf3d config and advance config tool all installed. For some reason I will pull my phone out of my pocket turn the screen on and the data will be on. I have weather, gps, and all other options that use data turned off unless i tell it to turn on. (or so i think)
Is there anything you guys know of that would be a reason for my data to be coming on automatically. it is killing my battery and it is becoming annoying to after having my screen off for an hour or so (sometimes more) to pull it out and the data be on for no reason.
any help please?
thanks

I also had the same problem. My phone did the exactly same thing, but since I have a notification on my phone on when this would occur it I would press and hold the end key to terminate the data.
What I did to get rid of it was first backed up all of contacts, sms, etc..
and did a hard reset.
Got rid of all of the extras I had installed.
And reinstalled only the things that I needed.
for example net.3.5 tf3d config, personalizer.
If you don't have a back up program (make sure you have a sim card as when you back up you'll be backing it up into your sim) use PPCPimBackup.exe which you could find through google.
I'm still a noob to ppcs and my touch pro, but if you have any questions on how to do the following just let me know.
If you download advanced config tool you can set the data connection to turn off automatically. There are also a ton of other options that will help optimize your phone and save battery
Do you have an E-mail account set up on your device? If so, you may have set it to connect every so often. One other thing that comes to mind would be if the QuickGPS app needs to update the certificates, it will connect to the internet.
You may want to get a custom rom in your device. This will get rid of a lot of junk...
Good luck!
I noticed that after using this rom for a few days my phone doesn't auto-rotate... nor does the G-Sensor work at all.
I go into Settings>Display>Horizontal Calibration, and the ball doesn't move from the center of the circle no matter where I turn the phone... it just stays there... even after I press "Calibrate" and it says it's calibrated but nothing happens..
It's weird... this has never happened to me on any ROM and am hoping that it isn't broken... don't see how. I didn't install any mods I haven't installed before and it always worked (yes I deleted cache partition and delvik-cache).
Would anyone know why it might not be working at all? Like what is the service or whatever that controls the g sensor specifically?
I am running simply galaxy 2.7.2 xe. It was working before but then decided to stop... help is greatly appreciated.
I have the same exact problem on my HTC Touch Pro2 (ATT) with the Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM installed.
The g-sensor works fine after you first boot up, and then completely stops working at some random interval. After this occurs, trying to calibrate the sensor results in the two animated levels freezing after twitching a bit. This obviously does not fix the problem.
I even tried using sktools to restart the g-sensor driver. The driver will apparently stop, but will not restart.
Honestly, I wouldn't mind rebooting this damn thing every time but it also freezes for like 15 minutes after I restart it. If you hit the power button to put the phone to sleep right after booting up, it will remain asleep and not respond to anything for almost a half hour. Sometimes calling it will wake it up though... and then it freezes again when you put it to sleep if it's within 20 minutes of boot up. The service process (services.exe) and manila show high CPU usage during this time.
Also the notification manager does not start up automatically; its service needs to be started manually each time. Setting it to manual does not fix anything.
